I would like you to read this a few times before passing your judgements on me.

The Situation: Contrary to popular belief, I was actually off SR for 10 days, until the pressure got too far for me to handle. I promised Stryke that I wouldn't return for 30 days, but the torment, insults and accusations behind my back have got to me to the point where I have to come back and make a statement.

My statement: I want to thank those who stood up for me (namely Edgy) and reported certain people for particular offences (though I doubt much will be done). Next agenda - Mr Snuggly. Now, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye, but I was wondering if we can start a clean slate and I can be eligible for GAD again and it can go back to normal. Notables, contenders and anyone else whose wondering. I will not be starting a boycott unless myself or others are bullied. We have the support, but I really don't want to start a war on these forums. To anyone that has badmouthed me: I don't hate you, but am incredibly disappointed at your ignorance and the pure fact that you had to say it behind my back. I don't enjoy FOG as much as I used to, partly due to my own selfishness, but everyone on here is so hostile towards each other now, and trying to catch each other copying (and copying too!). When it was me, Grix, Golden Rhino, SSX Pro and Dringo, it was perfect. This grading system is in my opinion a sham and is not the right way to go about things.

The bottom line is this: I want it to go back to normal, with NO insults, because I have a zero tolerance for bullying on these forums and I'm sick to death of it. I want to win GAD's, I want to chat about games, films and life, and I want to be accepted, if I can put the term loosely. I still stand by my premise that the "I HATE YOU!" post was a joke, and SR were thinking up any reason to get me banned. However, I just wanna start again as Desert Beetle and make some friends on here, and possible make the peace between a few enemies. I don't want this topic filled up with crap about how much of a "loser" I am, but sensible contributions. I don't mind honest opinions, but please keep the insults to a very low minimum. Cheers. Shaun.

Fair enough. I was just sticking up for a mate.

The last time he was banned, it was for sending me an e-mail, claiming he was being bullied on the site by other members calling him Shaneo. He repeatedly said he wasn't, and gave a fake name at the bottom.

Because I don't want any bullying on the site, I started a topic telling people to lay off him, saying he wasn't Shaneo because I'd seen his personal details (the name and address were false). Next thing I know, there's a topic underneath mine in which he's having a laugh with everyone, revealing who he really is.

That's far worse than copying. Look, I'm sick of it all. If you want to stay, stay, but don't ask me to award you any prizes.

People are moaning he's already had about six dozen chances on this site.. but what I want to know, is exactly how many times he was banned for copying, and what he copied in each case.

I don't think it's as many as the hype would have you believe...

LOL. Nobody hates someone. They MAY dislike them. As for Your Honour, well, he may not have forgiven Desert Beetle, but I and many others have!

I hold nothing against Shaneo and don't think that he deserves abuse from other members of the forum BUT:

If I was Mr Snuggly and had given Shaneo 3 chances, each of which was blown, I wouldn't trust him for GAD either.

Atleast it's not forever. Mr Snuggly said "Don't expect to win for a long time". Play it straight for a few months then I'm certain that the whole lot will be more or less forgotten.

Because I thought SR had a prejudiced against me, so I thought I had to write something super to win, so I copied. I also thought I wasn't good enough. I haven't copied since I signed up as Salevaa (or got banned as Firebalt).



So even after you got caught copying the first time, and apologised, and said you wouldn't do it again.

You then went and did it again.

Am I the only person that doesn't get that?

"if we have all forgiven him"


Er, have we ALL forgiven him?

I don't recall saying that I had, along with a number of other people on here.

I don't appriciate it when people speak for me. I am quite capapble of speaking for myself, I don't need you to do it for me.

Especially as you got it wrong.
